NORTH
HOLLYWOOD – Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, along with Metropolitan Transportation
Authority (MTA) CEO Roger Snoble, announced the single largest expansion
of Rapid Bus service in LA history as they last week
unveiled six new Rapid Bus lines that took to the streets Monday.
“These new Rapid lines will rapidly zip passengers from destination
to destination, and will offer commuters much needed relief from the
stress of sitting in their single passenger vehicles in bumper-to-bumper
traffic, and will also spare single passenger vehicle commuters the
discomfort of experiencing the pain at the pump,” said Villaraigosa.
The new Rapid Bus lines will include: Line 715, which will travel from
LAX to South Gate; Line 724, which will travel from Sylmar to North
Hollywood; Line 730, which will travel from Koreatown to Union Station;
Line 753, which will travel from Downtown Los Angeles to Willowbrook;
Line 762, which will travel from Pasadena to Compton; and Line 794,
which will travel from Burbank to Downtown Los Angeles.
“It’s no secret, traffic is bad, and gas prices continue
to rise at astronomical rates, but as Angelenos and smart commuters,
it is
incumbent upon us to realize that there are alternatives,” said
Villaraigosa. “The Metro Rapid Bus lines are the alternative,
and they are here for us, because they provide viable, convenient and
reliable transportation, save us money at the pump and most importantly,
get us to our destinations quickly and efficiently.”
There is now a total of 26 Rapid Bus lines in operation throughout
Los Angeles.
